Russian Leon Trotsky (L), accompagnied by his wife Natalia Sedova (2nd L), is greeted by Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (3rd L) upon his arrival in Mexico, 9th January 1937. Exiled Soviet Jewish communist revolutionary leader Leon Trotsky, pseudonym of Lev Davidovitch Bronstein, played a major role in the October Revolution in Russia in 1917 and created the Red Army. After Lenin's death (1924), Trotsky was ousted from the Communist Party by Stalin, who opposed his theory of "permanent revolution" and expelled from the Soviet Union in 1929. He finally found asylum in Mexico, where he was assassinated by one of Stalin's agent Ramon Mercader in Mexico 20 August 1940. (Photo credit should read OFF/AFP via Getty Images)
